How To Improve Self Esteem

Self-esteem is your reading of yourself. Everyone has an inbuilt score card wherein they give themselves points on their self-assessment. It’s a good system but not infallible. Our assessment is prone to influences from society. In fact we tend to judge ourselves more according to what the others think of us than what we actually think of ourselves. More often than we find ourselves in a situation where we begin to feel dejected.

Being over-critical of ourselves, we lower our self-worth. This results in low self-esteem. However, all is not lost. Improving our self-esteem is in our capable hands. After all we know what we have to improve upon – consciously or sub-consciously!

Our first step is to identify what we should perfect – external appearance, opinions, thinking, attitude or whatever else we want. Take a pen and paper and list out this inventory. When it is in front of you in black and white you will find it easier to act upon it.

Secondly, make it habit to think positively. Initially this will seem like an uphill task but as you get into the habit, it will come automatically. When you think positive, you exude self-confidence that all around you will find hard to miss. Then of course you have to be decisive. Take firm and sensible decisions and stand by them no matter what.

1. Stop dwelling on your mistakes and negative qualities. You are human and each of us is an individual with our own strengths and weaknesses. In this life you will never be good at everything that you do, so concentrate on the ones that you are good at in order to build up your own self esteem.

2. My life got a whole lot better when I realized that no matter how hard you try, not everyone in life will like you. Don’t try to be friends to everyone. Let people accept you for whom you are and if they don’t, then move on.

3. Do not allow anyone to run you down when you do not deserve it. People are only too quick with their negative criticisms and comments.  Above all, please try and associate only with positive people, who will help to raise your self esteem and confidence.

How Did You Come To Get the Symptoms of Low Self Esteem – Part 2

Let’s take a look at some examples:

·    Let’s say that your parents were very busy and distracted when you were growing up. Did this mean that you didn’t get the attention you wanted from them? If they were very busy, you may have felt that you didn’t matter, that you weren’t worthy of their time. They probably didn’t think this themselves, but if you as a child interpreted their behavior this way and formed the belief that you were not worth their time and attention, this could have had a negative impact on your self-esteem even as an adult.

·    If you only received attention for “bad” things you did, such as getting a bad grade, having a messy room, and so on, this no doubt had an impact on you. Perhaps you internalized what they said about you. If they didn’t balance the criticism with positive praise, it’s very likely that you began to see yourself in a negative way.

·    If other kids picked on you in school because you were different in some way, this had to be difficult. Perhaps you began to believe some of the things they said about you, even if they weren’t true.

There are many other examples, to be sure, but one of the most common things (and a common thread throughout discussion about low self-esteem) is that when negative things were said to you or about you, you began to internalize them and eventually to believe in them.

Again, it’s important to stress that most of the time, this was not done on purpose to make you feel bad. This isn’t about blaming people, because it doesn’t matter what others did or said to you in the past. What is important is that you change the impact this had, now.

The assignment today is to simply give some thought to your past experiences and write down those that you think had an effect on your low self-esteem. If you know where the symptoms of low self esteem started, it may just help you turn it around.

How Did You Come To Get the Symptoms of Low Self Esteem

Symptoms of Low Self Esteem

If You Have Low Self-Esteem, How Did You Get It?  If you have low self-esteem, have you thought about how it has prevented you from having a better life? One that’s more productive and more satisfying? If you are relatively happy with your life as it is currently, good for you. But you should know that giving your self-esteem a boost can make it even more meaningful and enjoyable.

Many people don’t know why they have low self-esteem. In some cases, of course, the causes are obvious. Perhaps you were abused or neglected as a child. If that’s you, of course, it’s easy to see why you might struggle with self-esteem. What if you didn’t have a childhood that was abusive or traumatic, though?

If you’re “average,” how did you end up with low self-esteem?

Oftentimes, “well-meaning” people who are important in our lives as children showered us with negative comments and attitudes as we were growing up. Again, these people didn’t intend to be cruel or to hurt you. Instead, they wanted to be helpful by offering criticism or guidance, but negative criticism is still criticism, regardless. There is no doubt that it had an impact on your self-image.

Self Respect and Self-Esteem – Do You like Yourself – Part 2

Do you want to begin to turn this around? Of course you do. So first, stop treating yourself so badly. Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially when you start. But it’s absolutely necessary if you want to improve your self-esteem.

So first of all, when you catch yourself speaking negatively to yourself or to others about yourself, stop. When you catch yourself saying derogatory or otherwise unkind things, replace your statements with more positive comments. These only bring low self esteem.

As an example, let’s say you catch yourself saying, “I can’t believe I just did that. I’m so stupid!” Okay. Now, stop and instead say, “Wait a minute. I made a mistake, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. Everyone makes mistakes. I can learn from what I just did and do better next time.”

What you say exactly doesn’t matter, but the gist of the message does. Stop abusing yourself with hurtful comments and replace them with constructive and positive ones.

Of course, this is a process and it’s going to happen slowly over time, not overnight. Even so, begin by practicing some healthier self talk habits, and eventually you’ll stop the negative self talk for good.

Besides the fact that you have to stop abusing yourself, you’ll need to begin to treat yourself more kindly and higher self respect and self esteem.

Self Respect and Self-Esteem – Do You like Yourself

If your self-esteem isn’t strong as it could be, don’t worry. It doesn’t have to be that way. Today, let’s talk a little bit about honor and respect. Of course, we all know we should honor and respect other people, authorities, and so on. However, do you honor and respect yourself?

Take a look at how you treat others versus how you treat yourself. Do you speak as kindly to yourself as you do to someone else? Do you support and encourage yourself as you do others, so that you feel as happy and valued as you want others to?

In short, do you treat yourself as you treat others? Many people don’t. In fact, if you have low self-esteem, it’s likely that you beat yourself up verbally every day. You might talk negatively to yourself, beat yourself up for making a mistake, and treat yourself as though you are worthless and horrible.

You might not even do that to your worst enemy, but when it comes to yourself, you think nothing of it.

It can be hard for us to honor and respect ourselves, because we were taught to be selfless. What does that mean? It means that we’re supposed to share and be considerate of others, and to think of ourselves “last.” In fact, if we put ourselves first or even anywhere within the running when compared to other people, you might even be called “selfish.”

Of course, you need to be compassionate and respectful of others. However, it’s not good if you’re doing this at the expense of your own self-respect and self-compassion. If you forget that, you may end up neglecting yourself in favor of taking care of others a lot of the time — maybe even all the time.

How a person sees themselves and their self-esteem actually begins at home as a child and as they grows up their self worth grows and changes with them. A person’s self-esteem can be affected by the environment around them…IF they let it. However, when a person learns to focus on what they want and work towards it then they are working on building their self-esteem.

For some people high self-esteem brings to mind those people that are on the verge of arrogance. Then there are some that believe self-esteem cannot be too high. Acting like you have a high amount of self-esteem and actually possessing it are too entirely different things. However there are cases where the illusion that is given off is what a person becomes.

By now you should know whether or not you have a high self-esteem. Despite all the misunderstandings about its actual meaning that you may have had over the years your self-esteem is how you see yourself, your general self worth. Those that do not have a high self-esteem are constantly trying to be what someone else wants them to be and are constantly trying to please others because they think they have to.

A person with a high self-esteem will find that success can come from simply focusing. Concentration can be an essential part of self-esteem and learning to guide thoughts to the goal and ignore the things in your way are done with focus on the object.

They also find that completing projects and seeing things through is required. They have to finish what they start in order to be happy. There are lots of people that give on things half way through them. Those that complete the things they start are often happier than those that do not.

People with a high self-esteem also learn from their mistakes when they happen. When a person learns from what they do not succeed at then they are making progress and their level of self-esteem is higher than it would be if they did not. They control the future as it pertains to them. Realizing this gives high self-esteem

Does Your Child Lack Self Esteem – Part 2

Child Lack Self Esteem

Of course it is true that there are time that parents forget to praise their children for the good things they do, however the same parents will scold them when it is bad. So there are times when children only hear the negatives and nothing about the positives. The positives are the times in a child’s life where they build confidence within themselves and this should be praised.

There are times when it is necessary to give children more responsibility so they can have more chances to achieve something and achieve high self esteem. Those that do not receive the chance associate the lack of chances with not being good enough to do anything.

This will cause their spirit to be low and over time it will take more control over them to the point where they will give up trying to accomplish anything for fear of failure. Allow them responsibility that is appropriate for their age and skill set.

Parents are looked up to by their children. In a child’s eyes, you as the parent have super powers, however this can at times also result in low self confidence felt by your child when they start to think they can never live up to you.

It is not wrong to let your child know that you have imperfections. It’s a lot easier on them when they understand that you are only human and that you make mistakes as well. When there is more than one child in a family, then competition becomes a factor as the children all vie for attention and affection from parents.

Every child needs to receive praises in equal abundance and each one needs to be treated individually. Your child will lack self esteem at times, but help to build your child’s self-esteem a little every day as the go from childhood into being an adult.

There have been time when a child that lacks self-esteem has committed suicide. For a child to learn self confidence and build self esteem in themselves, you need to look at the encouragement that you are giving them to as they grow.

Nurturing and guidance are a substantial part of your child’s life. Many times with even knowing it, parents make the mistake focusing on their child’s weaknesses instead of their strengths.

No one is perfect be it child or adult, so there is no need to always remind them of their mistakes on a daily basis. You should teach your children right from wrong, however you should never go on and on about them never getting anything correct.

Realizing their mistakes is what you are there to help them with. You should help them to learn from their mistakes and show them how to change the direction nd make something that is negative into a positive. If you only look at their mistakes then you will only cause them to lower their own self-esteem and make them feel that they can never do anything the right way.

Low self-esteem translates into low self-confidence, high vulnerability and probable depressive nature. It can prove disastrous for a lot of people. So, how does one recognize a person with low self worth? Is there a way of identifying the signs before they take over the person completely?

Well, there is an answer to both these questions. Usually a person’s body language is a clear indicator to his mental state. You cannot hide your emotions totally. They eventually sneak out and manifest themselves in your way of walking, talking, standing and even looking. So, if you were to observe a person carefully, you’d be able to identify a person with low self-esteem.

A person with low confidence typically stands with his head slumped forwards looking down, spin curved and shoulder slumped inwards. His posture is a dead giveaway to his mental state. He is depressed, down, and lacking confidence in himself. This kind of posture can become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it soon begins to affect a person’s mood negatively.

Cause of Low Self Esteem

Self esteem – the one force that keeps you confident and top of the world through thick and thin. If you have a low level of self esteem, there will constantly be that feeling of bitterness, loneliness and dejection. It’s a known fact. Low self worth can drag you down into the dumps and make you feel like a loser. So what is it that causes your level of self-worth to fall to such depths?

We were all born the same – at least physically. It didn’t matter whether we went to school by the bus or in a limousine. However, as we grow up, there is a constant comparison with our peers. This starts to affect the way we perceive our self vis-à-vis others. Since comparisons are always odious, we end up hurting our selves. We compare with those who are richer, better looking or more successful than us and lo!

We are sad, depressed and dejected! Living in society, there are bound to be interactions with others. Even if they are not personal interactions, the television, multimedia, movies and even the Internet can cause you to think. There is a pressure on a person to fit into this society.

When you don’t, your life begins to dwindle, it begins to drift, gradually, you no longer feel happy and comfortable with yourself, as a result, and nothing seems to please you about yourself – and you become a victim of low Self Esteem.

In such circumstances, you are no longer in charge and others dictate your life. You think of yourself as a non-contributor to the self same society that is instilling these thoughts in you.

What is The Connection between Body Image and Self Esteem – Part 2

Body Image and Self Esteem

Even the way someone holds his or her head when speaking says something about Self-esteem. When the head is brought forward some it gives off Self-esteem though its body language. When the head is tilted while someone is listening their body language says they are listening to you more closely and want to hear more. Although the positioning of the body should change to show that you are still participating in the conversation.

The motions or lack of motions say a lot about Self-esteem while you are talking. A large amount of excitement and/or aggression can be shown with these gestures. When someone leaves the arms by the body or behind the back they appear more comfortable and you feel more comfortable. When they give off the impression of being at ease and open it will make you feel at ease. You will notice you are just as confident in the conversation as they are.

Body language such as turning away from someone can affect Self-esteem as well. This gesture whether they are aware of it or not makes you thinks they do not like you. The majority of people lean in to talk to people they do not like and after a while if they began by turning away they will start to like you and turn to you.

A person’s body language has a lot to do with Self-esteem yours and theirs. Watching body movements can give you a better awareness between body image and self-esteem, mainly theirs and yours.

Mental attitude is what most people focus on when it comes to gaining self-confidence and self-esteem in your self. Mental and physical aspects combine to make up confidence. You must understand the things behind confidence before you can build your self-esteem.

Emotion comes from emovere, which is a Latin word that means moving or displacing when translated to English it is simply an e in front of the word motion. The way you move will have an effect on your feelings.

You feel less self confidence when you stand with your shoulders slumped and head down than you do when you stand straight up with your head held high. People that are depressed hold their heads low and slump their shoulders. You will notice that you instantly began to feel better when you held your head high and back straight. You have more self confidence when you stand this way.

When you haven’t been positioning yourself in this way when standing or sitting you will feel uncomfortable at first. After a while you won’t even have to think about the way you are standing. When you meet someone for the first time you will feel nervous until you understand him or her more. Then you will be able to figure out what they think of you and become more comfortable. That’s right the posture you take says a lot. It turns into a prediction of the future if you do not do something to change it.

Making eye contact should be done during all communications that are done in person. It is not good to stare or focus on other parts of the anatomy inappropriately. Respect is established with the proper eye contact being used. Body language comes into play with the determination of just how much eye contact you should be giving someone.

Overcoming Low -Self Esteem – Part 2

Overcoming Low Self Esteem

This might be hard to do at first, because you might feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Perhaps you even feel a bit greedy or selfish because you want to do nice things for yourself. Ignore all of that! Do those things anyway. As time passes and you continue to do these things, you’ll begin to be more comfortable in spending time just on you.

2) Treat yourself well physically, too. Exercise, eat right, and get enough rest. If you have low self-esteem, it’s likely that you’ve neglected your own self-care, so that you end up tired and even sick. Don’t do that. You deserve the same care and attention you would give someone else, even if you’re not quite sure you deserve it just yet.

3) Give yourself a treat. Of course, you need to take care of yourself mentally and physically, and you need to have fun on a regular basis. The next thing you should do is to treat yourself. Do this regularly; these “treats” don’t have to be expensive. They just have to be something that you’ll truly enjoy and that will make you feel special. Buy yourself a new journal or outfit, have lunch out with a good friend, or take in a movie you’ve wanted to see. Doing this can elevate your mood and make you feel like you’re basking in praise.

These things may seem small, but small things matter too, sometimes more than big ones. As time goes on and you continue to nurture yourself in these ways, you can begin to greatly improve how you feel about yourself and well on the way to  overcoming low self esteem.  And in fact, that’s the whole point.
